From our community

I actually left another 3D school to join Think Tank’s Houdini Program—and I haven’t looked back. The quality of the video content is amazing, and I’m finally learning the kind of tools and workflows I was hoping for. Term 1 was definitely intense while I wrapped my head around the basics and proceduralism, but now in Term 2, all the fun stuff is kicking in.
I’m loving it.

Term 2 Student Houdini for Film or Games

I was trying to learn houdini on my own before enrolling in Think Tank’s Houdini program and while that is totally possible, I feel my learning experience has drastically accelerated and become much more focused since joining TTTC. I learned a lot with the pre-recorded content but I believe it is the overall structure, the accountability placed on the student and the access to talented mentors that sets this program apart.
